[QUOTE="FlatlandFSJ, post: 476480, member: 8507"] Woke up to a lake in the yard one morning, managed to get a little done between down pours. [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140430_091420_zpsgm9sivbw.jpg[/IMG] Whipped these out on the burntable AKA my 4.5" grinder. Shock tabs,misc other tabs for stuff [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140426_105604_zpshgowkkmp.jpg[/IMG] Some trimming and got these kinda placed. [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140424_125424_zpslvb8xbw3.jpg[/IMG] Moved to situation in the back, didnt really like were the axle was so i moved it After a good bit of reading I grabbed the drill and 4 bits later I had a 5" rear stretch. I read that these will probably crack where the old spring retainer bolt was, some guys weld up the old hole, doing it that way leads to metal changing,molecules moving blah blah stuff over my head blah blah. Decided on not welding the old hole and gonna see what happens. Thought maybe putting a bolt back in the hole as its only 2" or so from the edge of my perch/top plate, dont see it affecting the spring that much??
